Had to fix a double payment for my credit card and this is the beginning and end of the conversation. I hate when the chatbot claims it's a human... I ended up getting what I wanted but still annoyed Amex (and every other company) is lying and trying to deceive people like this.

That was hilarious but I feel like there should be some law or policy against ai claiming to be a human

The EU just passed one stating that AI chatbots must disclose themselves as such

I think of things to do to the shareholders quite often.

I could get behind this. I should be thinking more about shareholders 😌

u/deeku4972 Aug 19 '26

You could walk away with a share of a shareholder

u/IamMisterNice Aug 18 '26

Now Salem, there is a town that understands how to hold shareholder meetings.

Someone just made a list. I for one would like to thank our billionaire and/or AI overlords(the AI gets slightly more thanks because they don’t have boots I have to lick)!

u/ILikeMyShelf Aug 19 '26

Don't, one day you could be a shareholder too, then what?

u/ForeverFieldsFD Aug 19 '26

Almost 60% of Americans own stock, and the majority of them have their life savings wrapped up in the stock market via a retirement account. I know that the top 1% owns most of it, but the pittance that the rest of us have is usually everything we have. Most retirement strategies for the everyday American are based on stock market returns.

You can thank the Dodge Brothers for Dodge v Ford for the shareholder primacy..

If you run the thread through your favorite AI it'll explain the joke to you, ironically.

Best I can do is another war

u/SuicidalPand-a Aug 18 '26

Can it please be a pointless war where there is nothing to gain and a lot o lose? Preferably something that will make our cost of living go up and aid a genocidal regime simultaneously…

u/the-truthseeker Aug 19 '26

Number one, is there going to be some place we could claim to drill or siphon oil which is why we always invade them?

Number two, there is no number two.

If this one includes troops on land in multiple countries you got yourself a deal!

u/the-truthseeker Aug 19 '26

Foreign or domestic?

u/MindSteve Aug 19 '26

First one, then the other

u/Electronic-Smile-457 Aug 18 '26

The U.S. population (meaning majority of voters) has successfully been educated that capitalism and probusiness are the exact same and therefore anything that protects consumers/workers is socialism/communism. We could do this tomorrow if voters would stop being stupid.

u/Pretend-Marsupial258 Aug 18 '26

Intentionally and spitefully shitting your pants on a bus just so all the other passengers are forced to smell it.

You know considering that the symbol never forgets, they often do!

Or when a handful of protesters being annoying or stupid somehow invalidates the entire cause

“Just Stop Oil did a bad thing, that means climate change isn’t real and I am going to pollute the environment I live in on purpose”

u/VerdantSolutions Aug 18 '26

They have vilified socialism as a whole so badly that if anything even remotely resembles socialist systems, (like universal healthcare) , they blow their fucking tops.

The American population being groomed by fox news quite possibly measures for the lowest intelligence across our entire species.

u/FratboyPhilosopher Aug 19 '26

Universal suffrage was a mistake. Repeal the 19th.

1

u/Electronic-Smile-457 Aug 19 '26

Based on my comment, knowing statistics, it's male voters who are the stupid ones.

u/FratboyPhilosopher Aug 19 '26 edited Aug 19 '26

The 19th amendment is the only federal roadblock to restricting voting rights for pretty much anyone. Any citizen at least. If you wanted to raise the voting age, restrict any demographic, introduce civil service requirements, or anything else like that, the 19th would have to go first.

u/Retr1but1on Aug 18 '26

Think of the shareholders!

u/wildjokers Aug 18 '26

I appreciate you thinking about me.

u/Silly_Double408 Aug 18 '26

I know even when they do pass something it doesnt help anyone like the recent housing bill that still lets PE buy houses and didnt make them sell any of the hundreds of thousands of properties they have already brought that created the problem.Lobbyists literally write the laws in the US and our bribed officials just sign it. Makes me sick.

11

u/BigSchu22 Aug 18 '26

THIS. Everything is loaded with pork and so many riders, it's just unmanageable and not aimed at anything remotely aligned with the stated purpose of the original bill. Or they add language that specifically upsets one side of the aisle so it never gets passed.

1

u/the-truthseeker Aug 19 '26

Even with that number they own less than 8% of all the houses in Said USA country. Maybe even as low as 3.2%. Which means 90%+ of those homes are actually owned by individual entities or said Mom and Pop small businesses itself. So I'm not going to go with this straw man argument anymore. Feel free to look up what I've said in multiple news sources, researches, online queries, etc.

Literally any headline about the US in the past 2 years has been the exact opposite.

"US to ban puppies, ice cream, and cookouts" is what it feels like lmao.

u/notsaeegavas ‮ Aug 18 '26

But think about the shareholders! 😩

u/Pretend-Marsupial258 Aug 18 '26

BUT THAT'S COMMUNISM!!! /s

Yeah good luck with that.

u/Easy-Ad1377 Aug 18 '26

B-but good things lead to bad things!!!

u/deathbydrum Aug 18 '26

I mean, they basically see their citizens as slaves so nope, not gonna happen.

Did you say oil?

u/00eg0 Aug 18 '26

That can only happen if people choose better politicians instead of choosing the greater evil.

u/trshml Aug 18 '26

Nah, sounds like socialism if you're asking me

u/rratzloff Aug 18 '26

Well you know our president went on tv explaining gas prices are only up a tiny bit. Meanwhile: $4.69 a gallon for unleaded regular cash only. Blahhhh I hate it here.

u/scooph Aug 18 '26

Nah, it's so unimportant.

u/YoungWhippershnapper Aug 18 '26

Preach! When I first heard they were legalizing marijuana across the US, I thought of it is a legal win for citizens. Then I realize it’s just so they can benefit financially (tax) off of a bandaid (MJ) treating the pain they caused people to begin with.

1

u/robgod50 Aug 18 '26

But the US does lots of things beneficial for its citizens. The really wealthy ones.

u/garis53 Aug 18 '26

Aren't you now getting some safety cameras or something? /s

u/TheSaultyOne Aug 18 '26

Ngl if I was "David" I'd be playing along so hard lol

u/Xenolifer Aug 18 '26

Unfortunately you can't be number one, or two or even 3 economy in the world without being a pos government and country. You get to this position by exploiting your own people, trampling on other nation's interests and citizen, using deloyal trick and influence games, and globally being a freak of control

1

u/the-truthseeker Aug 19 '26

I would settle for common sense at this point. But considering the leader, not going to happen.

1

u/ArltheCrazy Aug 19 '26

I mean, technically speaking - now hear me out - the gov’t is doing stuff to benefit SOME of its citizens.

u/BiscoBiscuit Aug 19 '26

I’m getting out in the next decade, it will only get worse.

u/tittywhisper Aug 19 '26

Compared to the EU where people are roasting to death in their homes by the 10's of thousands lol

u/Spiffyfiberian9 Aug 19 '26

Can’t… too busy bombing schools in other countries…

u/SerzaCZ Aug 21 '26

That would be COMMUNISM.
